Looking for More: Two Professors on Religion & Transcendence | Smith & Fischer

from The Veritas Forum

In today’s episode, two professors explore questions like: Is there more to life than meets the eye? Or, what do we turn to when we face challenging circumstances?   You'll hear from Jamie Smith, a philosophy professor at Calvin University, and Ted Fischer, an anthropology professor at Vanderbilt. In this conversation moderated by a Vanderbilt student, Isabella Gomez, they discuss the desire to look beyond ourselves, the role of mystery in faith, and where they find hope in times of crisis.   This forum was held at Vanderbilt in October 2024. Thank you to the forums team for making this event possible.    Find additional resources and quotes on the podcast episode page here.
